We were at therapy today and was told by the physical therapist that Ben is now ready to start a "work hardening program" I guess this will prepare him to go back to work...does anyone know of any in the Milwaukee or Madison Area??? and if so wich would you suggest/recomend???

I believe a lot of therapists refer to outpatient therapy as 'work hardening'. The inpatient therapy is to prepare you to live at home and the outpatient therapy goes beyond that.
Boat racing accident July 2006. Still hoping for some return!
